Was the Slutwalk worthwhile?

On Saturday Slutwalk took over central London's streets with women dressed in 'sluttish' clothing protesting against the belief that women who dressed provocatively invite rape. Is this an innovative way to draw attention to attitudes of rape?

This weekend saw London's Piccadilly play host to a provocative protest of women dressed in stockings, bras and basques holding placards embezzled with statements such as 'cleavage is not consent'. The group of 5,000 people were participating in the UK's contribution to a global protest called Slutwalk. The event started after a Canadian policeman advised students to 'avoid dressing like sluts' to prevent being a victim of sex crimes. Following this remark, Slutwalk was born where women and men worldwide take to the streets in minimal clothing to draw attention to the belief that the victim, rather than the abuser is blamed for a crime. This year some protesters donned four-inch heels and wrote 'slut' on their chests. Ken Clarke's recent comment on rape and the low conviction rates for rape in the UK made this year's protest particularly prominent.

What do you think? Is Slutwalk a brilliant way to draw attention to attitudes towards rape? Do women need to revert to sexual imagery to draw attention to a cause? Is there a more effective way women can protest about attitudes to rape? What would you suggest?
